I'm not really in need of anything to cheer me up today, but I'm glad to see this anyway. I can't stand the man and would happily see him living under a bridge.

That means he'd be a troll.....and might end up on B.E. :eek:

Remember the hair? More :eek:

Re: Scargill Loses.....
 

about time :thumbsup:

what happened to all the money sent by the Russian Mineworkers ??
given to him in a brown paper bag ??
like Prescott he doesn't need all these houses and their financial support, the NUM is a shadow of its former glory after his efforts
what happened to the UDM ??

Coming from a large mining family I can say I have no objection to any/all help, support and benefits miners should get.
My cousin was an occupational nurse specialising in miner's ailments and some of the stories are :eek:

But Scargill, like many other senior union leaders, has had an easy street, funded by a dying breed, a group of men who gave their health to bring a wage home.
Meanwhile Scargill has managed to outlive most of his contemporaries.

Which arch is he moving to ??

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving chap , I wonder how Maggie swung it?

Re: Scargill Loses.....
 

you mean you are too young to remember Maggie swinging her handbag
:rofl:

Re: Scargill Loses.....
 

His house got broke into on Wednesday night, but police say that nothing of any value was taken---So they didn't take his donkey jacket then!

Re: Scargill Loses.....
 

I can't believe he has a flat in the Barbican. I stayed in one of the flats for a couple of nights courtesy of my company, it was super luxury plus. I could look down on St. Paul's cathedral from my bed ! Rode down in the lift with Fiona Richmond in the morning (no, nothing).

Do the ex-miners know?

It may be unbelievable nowadays, but there was a credible movement in the 80's to replace the Queen with Arthur Scargill as President. This was of course pre-Maggie.
